Hi Everyone,
I am new here. I became a member just a few days ago.
One of the things i love to do is to read in my spare time.
Some of my favorite writers are Catherine Cookson (novels) and Cate Tiernan (Fantasy novels)
Has anyone here read anything of Cate Tiernan? I just loved her Wicca series.
I always like to hear about other authors and books to possibly find new reading material.
So i would like to hear some of your favorite books/authors.
Hope to hear from you all soon
Margaret Atwood
Just looked her up and she writes a lot of different things from poetry to short stories, childrens books etc.
What of her work do you like the most? Or read a lot?
Just looked her up and the cover art on her books look amazing! Writing her name down for when i go to book markets. Thank youOriginally Posted by Mermaid Crystal Shimmer
I would now like to direct you to my signature... Also, I have heard that a lot of people like Ted Dekker, particularly the Circle series. I haven't read it myself, but my brothers and a bunch of my friend have read it and said it was good.
But seriously, Lord of the Rings???? Here is my plan for you. If you haven't read The Hobbit, read it. Then, if you haven't read Lord of the Rings, read it. The list then goes as follows:
-The Silmarillion
-Children of Hurin
-Unfinished Tales
-Tales of the Perilous Realm (A collection of short short stories)
-The History of Middle Earth
-The Adventures of Tom Bombadill
-The Atlas of Middle Earth
I think that should keep you occupied for a little while
All that glitters is not gold,
Not all who wander are lost.
The old that is strong does not whither,
Deep roots are not touched by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be broken,
A light from the shadows shall spring.
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
Neil Gaiman, Gail Carriger, Libba Bray...
I have in fact read The Lord Of The Rings trilogy, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion and other of his books :-) I love them.I would now like to direct you to my signature...

I have also read all the Harry Potter books off course.
At the moment i am reading Kim Kerr's "Deverry" books which are nice books to read as well.
I am a big reader and whenever i have a but of free time will try to read.
Will definitly look up Ted Dekker, thank you!
Wrote them down and will check them out. Thanks :-)
Fun fact: the hubby and I once performed our Punch and Judy show at World Fantasy Con at Neil Gaiman's request, and we got to sit on a discussion panel with him. Way fun!

Neptune's Keep makes music with fish. Fish have hidden depths!
everything by Neil Gaiman for sure.
I love the Sherlock books
I love crime like Val McDermid and Chelsea Cain
loved the dragon tattoo trilogy and all the GOT books
I also enjoy graphic novels, my favourite being called "Blankets" and comics for sure
I'm gonna go ahead and be that person that say Harry Potter. Because I just can't get enough of those books.
Diana Wynne Jones - Howl's Moving Castle
Peter S. Beagle - The Last Unicorn
J. M. Barrie - Peter Pan
Along with Harry Potter I can read these three books over and over again and never get tired of them
Also:
Anne Rice - The Vampire chronicles
Marissa Meyers - Lunar Chronicles
Melissa Marr - Wicked Lovely series
Lewis Carrol - Alice In Wonderland, and Through The Looking Glass and What Alice Found There
Frank Beddor - The Looking Glass Wars trilogy
I tend to read a lot from the teen paranormal section in the book store which may seem a little silly since I haven't been a teen in some time, but I've found some of my favorite books there so meh
I do the same thing. I really enjoy the fantasy books in the teen section. That is where i found Cate Tiernan's work and also Melaina Feranda and many others. It is easy to read and just a lot of fun :-)
Terry Pratchett - Discworld novels, if you like some satirical books. My personal favorites are the Watch books, starting with "Guards, Guards!", but the other Discworld books are good as well.
On the more serious side, the books from Frank Schätzing, although I don't know if they are translated into English.

Her poetry and disutopian works
Ooooh those sound great too! So many genres and writers to choose from! Loving it
I read a short story from Terry Pratchett which was ok. I have a dvd of one of his series that came out but i don´t like that. Maybe i need to give his real books like the Discworld novels a try one day
Hand me any of Anne McCaffrey's books (especially Dragon Riders of Pern) and I'm a very happy mermaid!Believe it or not she was a Sci-Fi writer!
Saoirse (Seer-sha) means "freedom" in Gaelic, which is what I feel below the surface. I'm a freshwater mermaid.
Empress of the Strid Empire Pod
I totally agree, Saoirse. Everyone also check out a book called Nyx by D.M. Livingston. It's a really awesome novel about a Fae and some witches that she meets. There are also some really funny bits.
Everyone wishes for a magical solution to their problems but they refuse to believe in magic.

Thanks for the tips. Sounds great!
